PORTLAND, Ore. — As more school districts across Oregon figure out plans to bring more kids into the classroom, there are some schools that have already brought students back for full-time in-person learning.
Many larger districts in the state have complicated decisions to make when it comes to how to safely offer limited in-person instruction for students.
But for some smaller schools, like Cathedral School in Northwest Portland, the transition has been a little easier.
“We are opening up, but it’s going to be far from business as usual,” said Amy Biggs. She’s the principal at Cathedral School, a private Catholic school serving kids in Pre-Kindergarten to eighth grade who are now in class for full-day, in-person learning.
